A couple of weeks ago, between the boys' birthdays, we had our families over to celebrate. We loosely did a train theme for the party/cake due to the fact that both boys LOVE the freight train that runs right behind our house. I made the invitations to their party which included a couple of pictures of the boys on one of the engines that can often be seen chugging through our backyard (I even got permission to take the boys down to the train yard and take some pictures). Thankfully the afternoon and evening of the party turned out to be quite beautiful so the kids were able to take full advantage of the toys in the backyard. The trampoline, a gift from our neighbors when they moved and didn't want to take it with them, was a huge hit with all the kids and a few of the adults too! After a full-on taco bar meal the kids got to open their gifts; once again they were spoiled with many nice things - thank you families! Then it was on to cake and ice cream. My friend Tammy came through once again with a fabulous train cake complete with an engine, milk and cookie car, a coal car and a wood car! She does amazing work and the boys were beyond thrilled with her creation! It was a fun-filled evening of celebrating!
The kids were happy to play outside!
